Biden to enter race Thursday, arguing he can put end to Trump divide
By Amie Parnes - 04/23/19 01:09 PM EDT

Former Vice President Joe Biden will enter the presidential race on Thursday and present himself as the man who can unify not only a splintered Democratic Party but a country that has been fractured by Donald Trump’s presidency.

Sources close to the former vice president say Biden’s campaign will be centered on the argument that he can defeat Trump and that he can best unify a nation divided along geographic, racial, gender and generational lines during the Trump era.

It’s an argument intended to sidestep questions about whether Biden is not liberal enough for a party that has moved to the left since his years as vice president.

Biden set to announce presidential run Thursday in a video
NBC News, Apr 23, 2019

Former Vice President Joe Biden will announce his presidential bid Thursday morning with an online video, two sources close to Biden with direct knowledge of the planning confirmed to NBC News.

Biden will then appear in Pittsburgh on Monday for an event at a local union hall, NBC News has learned. Biden will then embark on a tour of the four early voting states — Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada — in the following weeks.

The former vice president finds himself atop of many early primary polls. The RealClearPolitics polling average has him at just above 29 percent, with Vermont independent Sen. Bernie Sanders in second place at about 22 percent.

[...]

This will be Biden's third run for the White House. Both prior campaigns — in the 1988 and 2008 election cycles — ended well before the Democratic primary process had played out. After that 2008 bid, Barack Obama tapped Biden as his running mate, and Biden went on to serve as Obama's vice president for eight years after a more than three-decade career in the Senate representing Delaware.

Would it be asking too much to get him to ask Bubbette! to join him as his VP nominee on a "unity" ticket?

 I'd pay cash money to see her face as he asks her on live teebee.
Anyone who isn't paranoid in 2021 just isn't thinking clearly!

Joe Biden has been losing presidential elections since the 1980s.
 
2020 will be no different.
 
Biden will have to answer for all the Obama-Biden failures – from Russian meddling to the weakest recovery since the Great Depression.

Someone in the GOP is learning how to compose talking points.  Nice. :smokin:
